VM 60 - submersible diaphragm pump
The IBO VM 60 submersible diaphragm pump is a compact unit with an electromagnetic
drive, designed for pumping clean water for technical use in locations requiring
high delivery pressure with low power consumption. Its small diameter allows
installation in narrow drilled wells, and its impeller-free design is suitable where
lift is the priority rather than flow rate.
Who it's for
-
Installation and service companies - a portable, compact unit for emergency emptying of tanks, pools and flooded rooms.
-
Farms and horticultural businesses - high delivery pressure with low power consumption makes it suitable for watering from narrow boreholes.
-
Home and allotment owners - its compact diameter allows installation in drilled wells with a minimum diameter of 120 mm.
-
Technical wholesalers and stores - this model adds a compact high-pressure pump to the range for applications where traditional deep-well pumps do not fit.
Applications
The VM 60 submersible diaphragm pump is designed to pump only clean water for technical use,
free of solid contaminants or abrasive materials such as sand or silt.
The pump is used to drain flooded rooms, empty pools and tanks, and
supply small irrigation systems from narrow-diameter drilled wells. The pump is not a water treatment device - if using it for other purposes, we recommend ensuring appropriate treatment.
The unit operates in a vertical or horizontal position, with a maximum pumped liquid
temperature of 35°C, in wells with a minimum internal diameter of 120 mm. The 230 V VM 60 submersible
diaphragm pump generates high delivery pressure, making it suitable for
installations requiring high lift with low flow.
Features of the VM 60 pump
The VM 60 pump uses an electromagnetic diaphragm drive, enabling it to
generate high delivery pressure with relatively low power consumption of 250 W. The aluminum
housing protects the drive system and helps dissipate heat.
The pump is not designed for continuous operation - the maximum uninterrupted operating time is
60 minutes, after which it must be allowed to cool down. The unit
does not have a built-in float switch or level sensor, so the pump must be directly monitored when operating at a low
immersion level to prevent dry running.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – VM 60 submersible diaphragm pump
What kind of water can the VM 60 pump handle?
The VM 60 pump is designed exclusively for technically clean water, free of solid contaminants and abrasive particles such as sand, gravel, or silt. Pumping sandy water will damage the diaphragm.
How long can the VM 60 pump run without stopping?
The maximum continuous operating time is 60 minutes, after which the unit needs an approx. 20-minute break to cool down. The pump is not designed for continuous operation.
Does the VM 60 pump have dry-run protection?
No – the VM 60 pump does not have a built-in float switch or level sensor. The pump must be monitored directly when operating at a low submersion level, and the power must be disconnected immediately if the suction port comes out of the water.
What is the difference between the VM 60 pump and the NEMO, and how do I choose the right model?
The VM 60 pump has a lower head (Hmax 60 m) with slightly higher flow and power consumption, while the NEMO has a higher head (Hmax 80 m) with slightly lower power consumption. The choice depends on the depth from which the water needs to be lifted. W case of any questions, we encourage you to contact our technical support team.
Where can I buy the VM 60 submersible diaphragm pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. The VM 60 pump is available from business partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What are the warranty terms for the VM 60 pump?
IBO – 24-month (2-year) manufacturer's warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
